We know how to have a good time when we celebrate Jesus!!
Inadequate
Tonight I had an overwhelming feeling of inadequacy. As I walked around the church and realized that God is doing something here that is way bigger than me. The building seemed to have a life of its own tonight as we filled every room. We had people here that have been gone [...]
Is it important to actually go to church?
I the day and age of the small groups and house churches I am often asked if a person really has to go to church. I hear people say that since we are the church and it is not a building then what is the big deal about going to church on Sunday? [...]
